Chapter 161: Calm

Rong Zheng dragged his tired body, and the six gods returned to the Qingyin Pavilion without a master.

Fu Cui, Qiu Ci and others were relieved to see Rong Zheng coming back.

Fu Cui stepped forward and said with concern: "Grandma, you are finally back." ”

"What about the letter?"

Fu Cui said: "It's still in the hands of the slave and maid, and it hasn't been handed over to the county lord." The slave maid thought that if the eldest grandmother didn't come back during the second watch, she would give the letter to the county lord. ”

Rong Zheng nodded indifferently.

Fu Cui and the others were surprised to see that Rong Zheng's hair was loose and there seemed to be blood stains on his clothes, and they were all surprised, and there must have been something wrong with the secret road, but because of their duty as subordinates, the master didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to inquire rashly.

Fu Cui said: "Grandma, let's let Ruyi comb grandma's hair again." ”

"Ruyi......" Rong Zheng came back to his senses a little and said nervously: "Ruyi, she hasn't come back yet." ”

Fu Cui had to ask Qiu Ci to help comb her hair. She opened the closet to find clean clothes for Rong Zheng to change into later.

"Is there anyone from the county lord?"

Fu Cui said: "When Shen Zheng, the county lord personally came to talk to the eldest grandmother. The slave maid said that the eldest grandmother had gone out, and the county lord left without sitting. ”

Rong Zheng bowed slightly. She looked at the clear face in the mercury mirror, and there was melancholy between her brows.

Fu Cui continued to say beside him: "At the beginning of Youchu, I heard that Dr. Guan is here again. ”

Rong Zheng suddenly realized that the county lord was sick, and Dr. Guan once said that he should not be angry or compassionate. If she really told the county lord everything, would the county lord's body and mind be able to withstand it? What if the county lord can't afford to get sick for this? No, she couldn't say anything when Mu Jing didn't take any real action. She couldn't rely entirely on the county lord for this, she had to handle it herself.

After freshening up, I changed my clothes again. Rong Zheng has been in an unhappy mood, she was worried about Ruyi who didn't come back, and after thinking about it, she said to Fu Cui: "You go and call Brother Ganquan." I'll go to the county lord first, and I'll be back in a moment. They're coming, and you make them wait first. ”

Fu Cui promised to pass the word.

Rong Zheng took Qiuci and Yutang to the Splendid Courtyard.

Now it's time to hold the lamp, and the next time the lights are lit up.

She walked into the courtyard, only to see the two big girls, Su Su and Xue Qing, standing under the lantern and muttering without knowing what to say, even when Rong Zheng arrived, she didn't notice it. Rong Zheng lifted the corner of his skirt and walked up the steps.

"Two sisters, has the county lord rested?"

Su Su and Xue Qing found out about her at this time, and they blessed their bodies, and Su Su said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't see the big grandmother." The county lord also said that he would wait for the grandmother to have dinner together, why did the grandmother come here? ”

Rong Zheng said lightly: "It's a little delayed." ”

Xue Qing took the initiative to pick up the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang for Rong Zheng and invited Rong Zheng in.

Lord Duanhui was not in the main hall, but in the banquet room. She was half-lying on the couch, looking a little embarrassed under the light of the lamp, and when she saw Rong Zheng coming, she bowed slightly and said, "You're back." ”

"County Lord!" When Rong Zheng stepped into this threshold, he had already secretly made up his mind to hide everything for the time being, and not to show the slightest emotion in front of the county lord. She can't let the county take the initiative to be angry, and the county lord needs to recuperate.

"There was something in the shop, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell the county lord. I've kept you waiting. This is the excuse she has thought of a long time ago.

Duanhui smiled softly: "You don't have to worry about me if you're busy, everything is done?" ”

Rong Zheng nodded slightly.

Dan Tang took the medicine and bent his knees and said, "County Lord, the medicine is already cured, and if you don't drink it, it will be cold." ”

Duan Hui obediently picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.

Rong Zheng took advantage of the organ and said, "Has the county lord been sick again recently?" ”

Duan Hui said: "It's nothing, it's just that I am a little dizzy in the morning, and Dr. Guan came in and saw that he was prescribed two pairs of warm tonic medicine, so he should take care of his body." It doesn't matter, this medicine is not bitter. ”

Duanhui was concerned about whether Rong Zheng had a good meal, Rong Zheng sat with him for a while, and he was worried about the Ruyi who had not returned, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

Duan Hui didn't keep her.

Rong Zheng hurriedly thought about returning to Qingyin Hall as soon as possible, and asked the Gan brothers to go into the city overnight to go to Caojia Lane and find a way to bring Ruyi back. The Gan brothers are the people left to her by Mu Xuan, who are strong in martial arts, loyal and reliable.

When I walked under the plantain tree, I happened to come out.

Rong Zheng groaned slightly, then stopped Dan Tang and asked her: "Today, Dr. Guan came to see the county lord, did Dr. Guan say anything?" ”

Dan Tang said with a smile: "Doctor Guan said that the county lord is fine, but the weather is getting hotter, and it must be carefully maintained, so it can't be hot." Otherwise, I was afraid that I would have another migraine, so I prescribed a reassuring medicine to the county lord. ”

Rong Zheng was really relieved at this time, and secretly said that fortunately she didn't say anything to the county lord.

She walked in a hurry, and Qiuci and Yutang behind her couldn't catch up with her steps.

Fortunately, the two places are not far apart, she hurriedly returned to the Qingyin Pavilion, just walked to the eaves, but heard the sound of talking in the ear room, and then listened attentively, it was wishful!

Rong Zheng was emotional, stretched out his hand and pushed the hidden door open, and said in surprise: "Ruyi, are you coming back?" ”

Ruyi hurriedly stood up and stepped forward and said, "Yes, grandma, I'm back." ”

Rong Zheng saw that everything was in good condition for Ruyi, and his whole heart was completely relaxed, and he hugged Ruyi's shoulders excitedly and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." You rest first, and you can sleep on the big bed with me tonight. ”

Ruyi nodded in agreement.

The Gan brothers got the order and were already waiting in the flower hall.

Rong Zheng saw them when he entered the door. The two saluted Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng nodded and said, "It's so late, let you two go on this trip." Originally, there was an urgent matter to be handed over to you to do, but now that the people have returned, there is no errand for the time being. But there will definitely be some place to be sent in the near future, and there will be trouble for the two of them. ”

Ganquan said: "Grandma's words are too polite, and the uncle explained before leaving." Everything is at the disposal of the grandmother. ”

Rong Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you are ready to be on standby at any time." ”

Rong Zheng asked Fu Cui to reward the two of them with wine money, and then let them go back.

The meals in the kitchen here are also prepared, and Ruyi came to serve Rong Zheng with rice.

After going through so many things, where does she have any appetite. Ruyi persuaded in front of him: "It's still growing at night, and grandma has to eat some to pad her stomach." How can I do it when I am hungry, and my grandmother said that she was dizzy and had a stomachache again tomorrow morning. ”

Rong Zheng reluctantly ate half a bowl of light noodle soup.

When lying in bed at night, Rong Zheng looked at the top of Hei Yueyue's tent and talked to Ruyi beside him.

"Did the people over there embarrass you?"

Ruyi said truthfully: "The slave and maid were guarded by two rough women, and they were not allowed to go anywhere. At that time, the slave maid was so anxious that she couldn't ask anything about her grandmother. At that time, I was afraid that my grandmother would have an accident. Later, the two mothers-in-law who were guarding me left, and I took the opportunity to run out. Fortunately, I still had some money on me, so I hired a mule cart and drove it back. The slave feels sorry for grandma, grandma, nothing happened to you, right? ”

Rong Zheng tossed and turned a few times and said, "I almost killed him at that time." Now that I think about it, I had the guts to stab him in the face. Ruyi, saying that he was not afraid was definitely a lie, and he threatened me to do something to Meritus. I...... I really don't know what to do. If Meritus has three longs and two shorts, isn't it all my fault? ”

Ruyi is a pungent character, after hearing this, he sat up from the bed angrily, indignant, and scolded: "It's really a well-dressed beast, and he doesn't care about morality." Such a man should be allowed to die a good death! ”

Rong Zheng said: "Okay, fortunately, nothing happened to us. I know very well what he is calculating, this matter must be planned carefully, and I can't mess up the battle first and ask someone to lead the nose. ”

Ruyi lay down again and asked, "Grandma has told the county lord?" ”

"The county lord is not in good health, where do I dare to open this mouth, I have to think of other ways. If you can handle it yourself, you can handle it yourself. ”

"That's right, the county knows about it, and it's okay. It's just that grandma suffered this humiliation, and sooner or later she will ask that incestuous bastard to return it. ”

The insult Rong Zheng received today will never be forgotten for a lifetime, and no one has ever humiliated her like this in her two lives. This evil breath is naturally coming out! It's just that before she gets angry, she has to find out how many things she can do, and who is standing behind Mu Jing to dare to say such arrogant words.

"Ruyi, tomorrow morning, you ask someone to invite Cui Qiye to me, I have something to ask him to help."

"Okay, grandma, don't worry. I heard that this Cui Qiye is the most trusted person by the uncle, and I heard that there is nothing he can't inquire about. It should be reassuring to hand it over to his grandmother. ”

Rong Zheng was a little sleepy and said, "Okay, no matter what happens, let's talk about it tomorrow." She yawned and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In a trance, I saw Mu Xuan coming from outside, dressed in silver-gray armor, shining in the sun. Rong Zheng saw Mu Xuan and ran towards him with joy.

"Meritus! You're finally back. ”

Mu Xuan didn't have any joy at all, but the place where he was left was empty. There was blood on his shoulder, his face was pale, and he yelled at her: "You return my hand, return my hand!" ”

Rong Zheng screamed in fright. Until someone pushed her awake by force. Rong Zheng opened his eyes and saw the light on the candlestick, only to know that it was in a dream. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her little clothes were all wet. My heart was beating hard.

Ruyi said anxiously: "Did grandma have a nightmare?" ”

Rong Zheng put on his clothes and sat up, not daring to sleep anymore. Ruyi appeased Rong Zheng for a while, put on his clothes and went to the ground and sprinkled a handful of sleeping incense in the incense burner.

Later, when she slept again, her body could no longer support it. Nightmares all night long, all torture. By the time she opened her eyes again, it was already time for the morning sun to dye the windows yellow.

Ruyi heard the movement and walked in, and said with a smile: "Grandma, are you awake?" ”

Rong Zheng was a little weak, glanced at her, and said, "I haven't slept well at night, but I didn't expect it to be at this time." ”

Ruyi smiled: "The slave asked the kitchen to stew bird's nest porridge for grandma, and it is still warm at this time." ”

Immediately, a little maid came in with a towel and hot water, and Yutang also came in. Several maids served Rong Zheng after grooming, wiped his teeth with green salt, rinsed his mouth, and used a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Two things were assigned, and Xiao Wang came in to greet Rong Zheng. Rong Zheng coped with two sentences.

Fu Cui came in and said, "Grandma, Cui Qiye has come to the villa and said that he is waiting for grandma in Tangli Study." ”

Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Let him wait for a while, I'll go and ask the county lord for good morning and go over there." You're making people wait. ”

Rong Zheng changed into a willow-green plain gown, a white gauze skirt, and went to the Splendid Courtyard.

She stepped into the splendid courtyard, and there was a maid watering the flowers and plants under the corridor, and they greeted her when they saw her coming. Rong Zheng nodded and asked, "In which room is the county lord?" ”

The maid replied: "Cui Qiye is here, and the county lord is talking to Cui Qiye in the East Chamber." ”

Rong Zheng was a little stunned for a while, didn't Cui Shangzhou wait for her in Tangli Study. Why did you come to Splendid Temple so quickly? Later, I thought about how common it was for Cui Shangzhou to come to the county lord to ask for peace. She went straight to the East Chamber.

"Did the county lord sleep well last night?"

Rong Zheng greeted as soon as he entered the door, the lord of Duanhui County was talking to Cui Shangzhou, and Cui Shangzhou looked like he was listening attentively, and the two of them were talking with interest, and suddenly heard Rong Zheng's words, and they all hurriedly turned around. Duan Hui didn't have anything, and said with a smile: "You're here." ”

Cui Shangzhou's face looked a little unnatural, but this subtle sentiment fell completely in Rong Zheng's eyes.

Rong Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "The county lord took medicine last night, can the headache get better today?" ”

Before Duan Hui could answer, Cui Shangzhou immediately interjected and asked, "Is the county lord's illness again?" ”

"Doctor Guan said it's okay, one or two of you are more nervous than me. I slept well last night, and I didn't feel a headache or dizziness when I got up early. Duan Hui looked at Rong Zheng's face carefully, and saw that she was unusually heavy with fat powder, but her face still couldn't hide the haggardness, and said with concern: "It seems that my sister didn't sleep well last night." ”

"yes, nightmares all night."

Duan Hui said with a smile: "Don't think too much. In two days, I will take you to Yuntai Temple to stay for a few days, listen to the Dharma and meditate. ”

Rong Zheng agreed in a panic, without thinking too much.

Cui Shangzhou came out of the splendid courtyard with Rong Zheng. Later, I followed Rong Zheng to Tangli Study.

Rong Zheng took the dragon well before the Ming Dynasty to entertain Cui Shangzhou. In the past, when Cui Shangzhou went in and out of Tangli Study, he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and the books here were even more open to whatever he liked. Even lying on the ground, no one dared to say anything about him. Now Mu Xuan is not at home, and he is somewhat restrained in the face of Rong Zheng.

At this moment, he sat in the circle chair in a regular manner, leaning forward slightly, looking respectful.

Rong Zheng said a little anxiously: "Cui Qiye, I'm sorry." Let you come early in the morning, I really have no way, and the only person I can think of is the seventh master who may be able to help. ”

Cui Shangzhou listened to Rong Zheng's anxious words, realized that something was wrong, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Grandma, you are not in a hurry." Slowly, what happened? (To be continued.) )
